Cut Matting info Below --

How to Figure Your Matting Size--

The outside dimensions of your
mat board should be the same as the stated frame size.

Example:
If you have an 11" x 14" frame you need an 11"
x 14" mat.

Note:
Frames are made approx. 1/8" bigger than "stated size"
to automatically allow room for fit-up with print, photo, artwork,
matting etc. An 11" x 14" frame will have a recessed
opening on the back that will measure approx. 11.12" x 14.12".

The opening dimensions of your
mat board should be about 1/4" smaller than your print,
photo or art work so you have room to mount it without the edges
showing. You will need to allow more for large pictures.

When
ordering double matting your top mat board should have the same
outside dimensions as the bottom mat board and normally have
an opening approx. 1/2 to 1 inch larger than the bottom mat board.
For triple matting, all three mats should have the same outside
dimensions and each opening from bottom to top should have
progressively larger openings normally 1/2 to 1 inch per layer.

Hint: When you assemble your double
or triple mats use double sided tape between layers to stop any
movement when framing.

--
How to Order Matting with Multiple Openings --

If you want to order matting
with more than one opening, e-mail us at

Give us the outside dimensions
of the matting and the size and location of the openings. We
will then e-mail you a drawing with all dimensions for your approval.
If you approve of the drawing you may then order your mat.

You will need to enter "0"
x "0" for (opening sizes) and enter the total number
of openings in the box provided. When you click on "calculate"
the cost for the mat with extra openings entered in box will
be displayed.

When you check-out make a note
in the comments area that you want your matting cut as to your
approved drawing.

--
How to Order Bottom Weighted Matting --

If you want your mat board opening cut other than
in the center. Make a note in the comments area when you check-out
how much and in what direction you want the opening to be.

Example #1: I want my mat opening 1/2" higher in the
portrait or landscape format. This would make a centered mat
boarder of 2" (top & bottom) into a bottom weighted
boarder of 1.5" top and 2.5" bottom. This makes the
bottom 1" wider than the top.

Example #2: I want my mat opening 1/4" higher in the
portrait or landscape format. This would make a centered mat
boarder of 2" (top & bottom) into a bottom weighted
boarder of 1.75" top and 2.25" bottom. This makes the
bottom 1/2" wider than the top.
